Abortion - 1,190 words
Abortion Almost half of American women have
terminated at least one pregnancy, and millions
more Americans of both sexes have helped them, as
partners, parents, health-care workers,
counselors, friends. Collectively, it would seem,
Americans have quite a bit of knowledge and
experience of abortion. Yet the debate over legal
abortion is curiously abstract: we might be
discussing brain transplants. Farfetched analogies
abound: abortion is like the Holocaust, or
slavery; denial of abortion is like forcing a
person to spend nine months intravenously hooked
up to a medically endangered stranger who happens
to be a famous violinist. It sometimes seems that
the further abortion is removed from the ...

May 11th, 2000 At the same time, there begins to
appear on the part of some an alarming readiness
to subordinate rights of freedom of choice in the
area of human reproduction to governmental
coercion. Notwithstanding all this, we continue to
maintain strict antiabortion laws on the books of
at least four fifths of our states, denying
freedom of choice to women and physicians and
compelling the unwilling to bear the unwanted.
Since, however, abortions are still so difficult
to obtain, we force the birth of millions more
unwanted children every year. to cut dow ...

Ethics Of Embryonic Cloning - 1,341 words
Ethics of Embryonic Cloning Embryonic Wars The
specific objective of this major essay is to
clarify and summarise the controversial debate
concerning the ethical decency of embryonic
cloning for therapeutic purposes. This is the form
of cloning that is supposedly beneficial to a
barrage of medical applications. We will identify
the key opposing ethical perspectives such as
those of the justification of embryonic research
based on the normative theory of consequentialism.
This paper will also probe into the relatively
brief history of the debate while gauging the
particular stumbling blocks of disagreement which
bioethicists have arrived at. The topical aspects
of therapeutic cloning will be ...

Ethics On Abortion - 1,925 words
Ethics On Abortion Abortion from an ethical point
of view " Describe and evaluate any two
contrasting theoretical approaches to the moral
debate of abortion." * * * It is widely accepted
that the fact of abortion has been a subject of
conversation and controversy for many decades.
Since the proportion of people who accept abortion
as a 'normal' procedure is equal to the proportion
of those who think of abortion as a 'crime',
through time a lot of measurements have been taken
against abortion but concerning it's defense as
well. Although the fact of abortion has been
examined through it's scientific and religious
side, in this assignment we will try and examine
abortion from an ethical point ...

Griswold V Connecticut - 1,076 words
Griswold V. Connecticut On June 7th 1965, married
couples in the State of Connecticut received the
right to acquire and benefit from contraceptive
devises. In a majority decision by the United
States Supreme Court, seven out of the nine judges
believed that sections 53-32 and 54-196 of the
General Statues of Connecticut , violated the
right of privacy guaranteed by the Fourteenth
Amendment. The case set precedence by establishing
marital (and later constitutional) privacy, and
had notable influence on three later controversial
ruling=s in Roe v. Wade (1973), Bowers v. Hardwick
(1986) and Planned Parenthood of S.E. Pennsylvania
v. Casey (1992) . The issue at hand was, and is
still, one that s ...

Medical Testing On Animals - 839 words
Medical Testing On Animals Animals have been used
in medical research for centuries. In a recent
count, it was determined that 8,815 animals were
being used for research at MSU, 8,503 of them
rodents - rats, mice, hamsters and gerbils. There
were 18 dogs, three cats and a variety of goats,
ferrets, pigeons and rabbits. The struggle against
this tyranny is a struggle as important as any of
the moral and social issues that have been fought
over in recent years." Animal rights are an
emotional issue-second only, perhaps, to the
bitter abortion debate." For decades the value of
animal research has been grossly overrated.
Although researchers have depended on animal test
data to achieve medical a ...

Ru - 752 words
Ru-486 For more than 10 years, European women have
been able to use mifepristone, known there as
RU-486, as a pharmaceutical alternative to
surgical abortion during early pregnancy.
Availability to women of the so-called abortion
pill in the United States has been delayed,
though, by the tense political climate of the
abortion debate. On Thursday, the federal Food and
Drug Administration approved mifepristone for sale
in the United States. The pill, to be marketed
under the name Mifeprex, will be available only
through physicians. It should be available in
about a month. The approval of mifepristone is the
result of the FDA's careful evaluation of the
scientific evidence related to the safe ...

When Is The Beginning Of Personhood - 1,391 words
When Is The Beginning Of Personhood? Abortion is
the termination of pregnancy before birth,
resulting in, or accompanied by, the death of the
fetus. Some abortions occur naturally because a
fetus does not develop normally. Or because the
mother has an injury or disorder that prevents her
from carrying the pregnancy to a full term. This
type of abortion is commonly known as a
miscarriage. Other abortions are induced. Induced
abortions are intentionally brought on, either
because a pregnancy is unwanted or presents a risk
to a womans health. Induced abortion has become
one of the most ethical and philosophical issues
of the late 20th century. Modern medical
techniques have made induced abortio ...
